1940. Hitler wants to rain death on London but he doesn’t have the aircraft. Classified info about a new long-range plane—the Japanese “Type Zero”—intrigues Nazi generals who ask their Far Eastern ally for a few prototypes to study. But how to get the planes from Japan to Germany? Unable to fly over the Soviet Union or most of the vast British Empire, the Zeroes just might make it if they can refuel at the few secret pockets of resistance. An action-packed aviation novel that presents the geopolitics of World War II from the other side.
